An opening to a larger set of works is right for prelude. A prelude is the first piece which will be followed by other pieces, ususually. But this prelude isn't followed by any others.

Also, plagal cadence ONLY applies to Handel: And the Glory of the Lord.

It does end on a perfect cadence though.

Please make sure your answers are right.

I don't know about the ornament question though. I just know there's an acciacatura in there.

Can someone please tell me where the mordent is?

Edit: rapid response from you xD That's great, thanks! Although I no longer need this because I've finished my GCSEs.. Thank God...
